The C25N4TM250 is a Schneider Electric ComPacT NSX250N 4-pole circuit breaker with a TM-D thermal-magnetic trip unit rated 250 A at 40 °C. The thermal-magnetic trip gives you two protection curves in one device: the thermal element (L) for overload protection, and the magnetic element (I) for short-circuit protection. No separate earth-leakage module here — the listing shows earth-leakage protection as 'Without', so if you need ground-fault detection, plan on an external Vigi add-on or a separate relay.
The 140 mm width, 161 mm height, and 86 mm depth fit standard NSX cutouts. Front connections top and bottom simplify bus-bar and cable routing in a panel. The neutral sits on the left (4-pole, 4D neutral protection set at 1 x Ir). Toggle control, IP40 enclosure rating (finger-safe, not washdown), and IK07 impact resistance.
Rated for 20,000 mechanical cycles and 20,000 electrical cycles at 440 V at half rated current (In/2), or 10,000 cycles at full rated current (In). At 690 V, the electrical durability drops to 5,000 cycles at In/2 and 2,500 at In — expect shorter life on higher-voltage circuits. The breaker is certified for isolation per EN/IEC 60947-2, meaning it can be used as a visible disconnect when open. Utilisation category A (non-frequent switching) is standard for distribution breakers — not intended for motor starting duty.
